Maya

Maya is my parents friends daughter. She is 1 years old, turning 2 in August and she is really adorable. Maya is half Japanese and half Kiwi, like me. We know each other because we go to the same church and I sometimes babysit her, which is very enjoyable. We recently found out that Maya is going to be a big sister! The baby is due in around September. The gender is a girl and I am really excited. I see Maya maybe 2 - 3 times a week and I am one of her favourite people. It is really funny because sometimes she sings a song out of nowhere. She is quite smart since she can count to 10 and say the whole alphabet by herself. Since I am always around her, I know a lot about her.

 Her favourite colour is pink and she really likes cats. 

Here are a couple of photos of us together.

About me

Hi I’m Anna and this is my blogger profile. I am a female student that goes to St Francis of Assisi school. I’m a year 8 and my favourite subject is Maths. I enjoy playing Netball, Gymnastics, Dance and Speed Skating. I used to play the Piano and Violin. The dance styles I do are Acrobatics, Lyrical, Jazz, Contemporary and Musical Theatre. I don’t really do ballet but I do techniques on it. I have 2 half brothers called Karl and John. My Mum is Japanese and my Dad is Kiwi. I have a black Staffordshire bull terrier cross Labrador dog and his name is Coco. He is 2 years old and really playful! My favourite colour is white and gold and my favourite animals are obviously dogs because they are really cute. My goal for this year is to challenge myself and try something new. Thank you for reading,see you next time. :)

The Kidnapping Mystery

Every Tuesdays, Kaupeka gets to do the "Kidnapping Mystery". This is a fun game about a guy called Mr Banks who got kidnapped and we have to find out who kidnapped him. First we got into groups of around 4 - 5 and we get about 3 or 4 clues each Tuesday. Altogether, there are 25 clues and the first group to find out who kidnapped Mr Banks, wins and gets a prize. My group has 21 clues and we are so close to finding out who kidnapped Mr Banks. Overall, I really love this game and I want to do more like it this year.

Do you do any of these types of games at your school?

Saturday Sport

Every Saturdays, I play Netball for my Netball Club. This week was my first game this year and I was so excited! When I got there nobody had arrived yet so it was just Amber, Jelena and I. The game started at 2:10 pm and finished at around 3:15 pm. The first quarter of the game, I subbed and then the second quarter, I was GA (Goal Attack). At half time, Petra brought some oranges and I couldn't stop eating them! For the rest of the game, I was GS (Goal Shoot) and I got around 3 - 4 shots in. The overall score was 8 - 6 and we won! This was the first time winning for this team and we were really happy. The player of the day went to Lilla, and at the end of the game, we all got lollies. We had a group photo and shook hands with the opposition team.

After Netball, I went home with Jelena and Amber and later that night, we had Hamburgers for dinner. We also watched "The Greatest Showman", which is now my favourite movie ever!

Do you play any sport in the weekends? If so, what sport?

Life Education

In the last two weeks, St Francis of Assisi got to go to the Life Education van. Overall, each class had 3 sessions in the Life Education van. My first session was 2 weeks ago on Friday. We had learnt about different ways of becoming a Leader and how personalities can effect you as a Leader. At the end of the first session, we got to see Harold, the Giraffe and he told some jokes which everyone was surprised because the jokes were quite rude.

In the second and third session, we learnt the differences between being a Leader and being a Boss. For example, being a Boss is telling everyone what to do and being a Leader is letting other people say their ideas or opinions. In the second session, we got to see a video of a teenage boy wanting to ride a kids brand new bike even though the kid didn't want him to. He had 3 choices; being aggressive, passive or assertive. In the last session, we got to see Harold do karaoke and it was really funny. In each session, we also got to play a game.

Overall, it was such a good experience and I definitely learnt something new from each session. I really want to see Harold again but sadly, I can't because Life Education van only goes to primary school and I go to High School next year.
